The Man With No Name

Floors – Leveling (Sanding)

So, they were originally thinking of trying to bring up the dips, but the problem was that if they had brought up part of the subfloor, the subfloor adjoining it would have had to have been adjusted too, throughout the whole part of the house. So… they’re going more with the idea of shaving down one key part of the rise. It’s 3/4″ wood we’re putting on top so there are no worries about stability or anything.
Checking the level key area. They removed an upper level of underlayment and will be filling the gap with something called fix-all, I guess.

More level-checking.

This is after they’ve done a significant amount of sanding/planing in the area. At this point there has been enough destruction/removal with no building that I’m starting to feel vaguely traumatized.
